The Life I Kept for You

He had built a future around her.

At first, Lina calls him my love. She remembers his meetings, asks about his day and makes an ordinary life feel full of possibility.

Adam believes they can build a marriage across the distance between them. He makes plans, offers compromises and prepares to leave the people and places he knows. Meanwhile, her replies grow shorter. Calls go unanswered. Each attempt to explain his loneliness becomes another argument.

On a Sunday morning, after driving his wife to the station, Adam makes a decision he means to keep.

The Life I Kept for You is an intimate novella about the pain of unequal love, the dreams we struggle to release, and the freedom of choosing a life in which affection can be returned.
